In one embodiment, a test system comprises: a network access point simulation component, a local control component, and a reference component. The network access point simulation component is configured to simulate communication network access point operations comprising test interactions with user equipment. The number of devices under test included in the user equipment and distinct network access points that are coincidentally simulated are variable. The local control component is configured to direct the network access point simulation component and to control the test interactions with the user equipment. The local control component comprises a test executive operable to direct simulation of communication network operations and the test interactions in accordance with information received from the remote control components. The reference component is operable to communicatively couple with the network access point simulation component similar to the user equipment and validate the test interactions.

Automated validation and calibration portable test systems and methods

In one embodiment, a test system comprises a first interface for communicating with remote devices; a second interface for communicating with local devices; a memory for storing information, including information received from the first interface and second interface; a processor for automatically configuring test system components in accordance with the information stored in the memory. The test system components comprise a network access point simulation component and a local control component. The network access point simulation component is configured to simulate communication network access point operations comprising test interactions with user equipment. The number of devices under test included in the user equipment and distinct network access points that are coincidentally simulated can be variable. The local control component is configured to direct the network access point simulation component and to control the test interactions with the user equipment.

The number of devices under test included in the user equipment and distinct network access points that are coincidentally simulated are variable. In one exemplary implementation, the local control component comprises a test executive operable to direct simulation of communication network operations and the test interactions in accordance with information received from the remote control components. The network access point simulation component and local control component are portable.

Local portable test systems and methods

Cloud-based management of cell-based test systems is described. For example, at a server that is communicatively coupled to a cell-based test system via a network (that is, in the cloud), a test case from a test case library is selected and accessed. The test case is selected according to the type of user equipment to be tested at the cell-based test system. The test case is sent from the server over the network to the cell-based test system. The cell-based test system can automatically perform the test case on the user equipment. Results from performing the test case on the user equipment are then stored on the cloud; that is, the test results are received at the server from the cell-based test system over the network and stored at the server. A report based on the test results can be prepared and stored on the server (in the cloud).

Cloud-based services for management of cell-based test systems

To test user equipment at a cell-based test system, a type of user equipment to be tested is determined. A device profile for the type of the user equipment to be tested is accessed. The device profile includes, for example, a test script that can be used to control the user equipment during the testing. A test of the user equipment is performed at the cell-based test system. During the test, the user equipment is controlled according to the device profile in response to the software executing on a computer system.
